Anyways, they don´t hate you randomly, because they think they are smarter they do it, because it´s just mostly really boring to fight people literally 1:1 like you would fight a mob with lightning build with BNS Gold. It´s much more impressive and thus much cooler and also more fun if you play a more combo oriented game if you´re playing sin vs sin for most people. Unless you picked sin because the lightning effects are so beautiful you´ll (probably) agree to that too.

And besides i don’t even think going all out “pve style” is that good against let´s focus on sin vs sin now. Rb+f spamming is at times, but it´s also cheap so people hate it. But it´s not good, because that´s supposed to be your general gameplan, it is good because often times your opponent won´t be able to deal with it at a given moment and then you get their flower for free or something and THEN you´re actually supposed to capitalize on the fact that you just got their flower for essentially free, i think. That is if you even rb+f at all without cc, because that´s how far some sins take the matchup.

So… still i probably cannot force you to play like i would want you to and much less in 3v3, because 3v3 is just really weird as a sin, because no glyph build *REALLY* works so you have to tag out so much to swap builds and so on, especially because of summoner and also warlock kinda, i don´t know what i´m supposed to play against warlock, but right now i´m still playing with something that´s vastly different from all the other R4PG BNS Gold Store. Against all the other classes i would not have much of an issue making 1 build that just kind of works against all of them. Kinda surprised that you enjoy 3v3 over 1v1 as a sin then…

is without a dout *BY FAR* cooler/more impressive than some sin spamming his opponent to death with rb+f + shadow drain + pve lighting rod + pve spinal tab + ice bomb + x stealth and so on… and then he probably wins the match on points in the end.

Dont underestimate left tree LMB, right tree is very over rated stacking poison is not difficult. The dps increase from left tree is very strong. The main reason assassins are having trouble stacking poison fast is because they arent making use of acid star (6 second cd poison stack tool that gives focus…. use it pls…). Being able to proc acid star efficiently lets you spec into left tree easily. Also having enough crit for the double venom slash stack does wonders. TLDR go left if you have the crit rate and if you play assassin well enough for constant acid star procs.

Also your argument for choke bomb > poison breath is flawed. Yes you can dps sooner by having the instant poison stacks from choke bomb and start using your dark strikes with Best BNS Gold Store. But casting dark strikes a second earlier is gonna make you deal more dps then having your 5 stacks 15 seconds earlier? Pretty much makes no sense at all to ever take choke bomb over poison breath in PVE.

Cyclone Sweep is another point i dont agree with. Shadow drain for the extra focus regen allows for more dps because you wont run into focus problems, lightning rod wont always be up and the best part about shadow drain is that its cd can be reduced.

But the point that actually makes me question life is shuriken?? Really?

It booted up just fine, logged in, got the BnS screen, got the pin number screen (which constantly changes, extremely annoying :P) and right after punching in the code and hitting ok I get a “Failed to connect to server”.

So at first I figured that was to be expected because I’m not a founder but after pondering about it a bit… the game IS technically life already so they could just “not let you create a character” or whatever.

So my question is, since I couldn’t find ANY info about this, does anyone else get this message?

If so its perfectly fine and I just have to be patient with R4PG BNS Gold, but if not… I gotta figure out what could be wrong before I miss out on the first F2Pers launch moment.

NCsoft seems to be a little vague with the error message, it could have meant a number of things, but then again, letting people actually log in right now just because they’re “trying it anyway” will increase the server load so, yeah, lol.

I definitely expect there to be a queue for logging in, I’m going for EU though and I’m actually staying up until 5AM so that might decrease it a bit (it most likely won’t but don’t pop my bubble lol) either way I’ll just keep trying and trying.

@Erratic, 2 things, how would you migrate your chars to the blade and soul gold farming? And you say characterS, as in plural, isn’t it limited to 2 chars for non founders (and yes I know that’ 2 is technically plural hehe)?

As for the timer, I didn’t know that! I have the official BnS page open, they have a timer as well 🙂 and my alarm clock is on 15 min in advance so shouldn’t miss it ;).

This is a PVE guide for high DPS with Bladedancer.
The guide is for lv45 player with HongMoon level 00.
If you are interested in PVP with Bladedancer, you can check this guide here

Bladedancer is the ideal class, for beginners, high DPS, mobility and enough survailability on top of that. Bladedancer is the second easiest class to learn behind the Summoner who is the ultimate class for lazy people (no offense Summoner players :P).

Nevertheless, Bladedancer may be one the easiest class to learn,
but what about mastering him and using him to his full potential?

Anyone, can spin-to-win his way through most of the mobs of the game, but not anyone can output the highest DPS in a endgame dungeon without dying.

This guide aim is to help you maximize your DPS output in endgame dungeons and hopefully not die.
Before I move on to the skill build, I want to mention one thing.

This is only a recommendation and it is not guaranteed that it will work for R4PG BNS Gold Store. It worked for me, so feel free to use it and tweak your way to fit it in your gamestyle.

SKILL BUILD

This build revolves around your Lightning Stance/Draw Stance, that’s why I picked up the Lighting Focus as my passive.

Suggested skill rotation for this build:

Soaring falcon (focus source) > Storm Cleave (Changes to draw Stance)> Left Button/ F + Right Button (repeat until you are left with 1 focus)> Multislash (Changes to Basic Stance)> Rolling Typhoon (Possible Sunder)> SS > Soaring Falcon > Bodykick + Anklebiter > Lightning draw (Changes to Draw stance)Left Button /F + Right Button (repeat until you are left with 1 focus)
rinse and repeat the above using Flaming Scourge and Maelstrom when you think it is necessary.

Three points here, so you will have a decent source of Focus for the rest of the combo, since this one is your opening skill, before you enter the Draw Stance.

Three points here too, because it generates three Wind Focus which you will later spend to cast Rolling Typhoon, also it generates Focus per hit for a total of 4 Focus

Upon casting this skill, you will gain lighting surge and you will have 10 seconds to complete the combo, two points are enough Cheap Blade And Soul Gold, since they offer zero casting cost and extra damage on knockdown or grappled enemies, though some people may want to spend three point to guarantee critical hit against knockdown or grappled enemies, but you have other skill for that.

1 point will allow to speed cast Sunder on top of that skill and the second one will increase the damage of this ability.

The queues times are not a result of some bottle neck in the login system, which is what you are trying to say (too many people trying to log in at the same time). The queue times are a result of limits on concurrency – which is most easily visualized as the maximum number of concurrent players that can be on a server at the same time without causing everyone to have a terrible experience.

You have short queues during the day because fewer people are logged in to the server, not because fewer are trying to login Best BNS Gold Store. You don’t “skip the rush hour” by logging in early and going afk. The fact that you are on the server absolutely affects the queue for everyone who logs on after you. If you are on and AFK, you are contributing to the server reaching its maximum number of concurrent players without playing. Which means you are preventing others from playing, so that you can have the convenience of being able to play later when you want to play. You are consuming a shared resource.

Given the queues going from a few minutes to hours, someone that have few time to play and want play BnS, will not want waste that time waiting in queue but keeps its character afk and then, when it is playing time, will play.

High queues and afk are very related, most likely when queues will be eased, afk players will not be a problem anymore.

Not to mention, there are times you go afk for a number of reasons, so the correct way to handle this, is more towards any means to easy the queue, than just punishing who is afk.

Then, right now we are on day two of a new released game (at least, to the west) and all this login hammering is expected BNS Power leveling. Give it some days, and when all curious people/press/bloggers have done their stuff and login no more, all of this will calm down itself.

We had wait YEARS to have the game here, waiting a few days more I think is not so difficult.

If you’re doing a lot of dragon pulse jumping or a lot of fast camera rotation it can give you headaches. Remember that you’re pretty much just looking at light, beaming at you and that in weird rotations and such can cause it.

Fast flashes could cause epilepsy (think the flight sequence of Tera, or that banned episode of Pokemon from 199x causing people to seizure BNS Gold) so its not that weird that long duration exposure to a very dynamic game can give you headaches (would be worse on a 3D monitor or using Occulus rift like devices)

So far I haven’t had an issue with BnS but games have given me headaches and nausea in the past. particularly some of the earlier First Person games Couldn’t play doom for more than a few minutes without retching or Wolfenstein . 6 Months ago Marvel heroes made some changes to the camera which locked the camera in at a certain distance and that got a lot of people sick as well until it was corrected.

I’m making an account just to respond to this.I have the EXACT same symptoms as you. I started this game a couple of days ago I had to take work off today because of the headaches and eyeaches behind my eyeballs. I’ve tried taking contacts off and using glasses but the aches won’t go away. It’s definitely BnS related.

This sounds like its Vertigo related, which is, funny enough, more common in females then males yet the it looks like most people having issues with it are male.

I highly doubt everyone suddenly got an ear infection playing the game so my best bet is BPPV (benign paroxysmal positional vertigo Blade & Soul Power leveling), BPPV can occur for no known reason and may be associated with age but that’s mainly based on statistics from the pre-gaming era.

I have a friend living in NA who speaks Chinese better than he does English, he’s interested in BnS but would like to have the game’s text and voice overs be the Chinese ones. I told him that modifying files could potentially result in a ban, but I think it’s a risk that to him is worth it. Would it just be a matter of him downloading the Taiwanese client to get the files and then swapping some things or is there more to it than that? Thanks for any help with this and have fun tomorrow!

I’ve been looking at the mods forums for a CH pack but everyone just seems to like the JP and KR ones better.

I’ll tell you what, I have the TW client installed. I’ll download the KR files, see what they replace and try to make a TW version of Blade-Soul Gold. Give me a moment to do that and download the NA version, see if anything changes in the source folder (I’m EU) and see if I can do a little TW pack for your friend.

Edit: Derp no need to instal NA, it’s the same thing. Odd during CBT there were seperate updates for NA and EU. I’ll start working on the TW files.

Update 1: Suddenly there seems to be a lot of files present in the KR one that are not present in the TW one. I’m going to download the JP one as well to compare files from both.

Update 2: DERP NVM I was looking in the wrong cooked PC folder. I’m making a copy of the TW files now.
